GIVEAWAY DAY - Fabric & I-Spy Squares

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!!! WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON MY BLOG AND NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL

Today begins Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day... which actually lasts all week! You will find some amazing handcrafted items as well as crafting supplies, so what are you waiting for? Go check it out!

I am offering a group of 4" I-Spy Squares and some random fabric:
* Approx. 94 I-Spy Squares are a mish-mash that I've received in swaps plus a few from my own fabric stash (there are some duplicates/some of the same type of print).

* FABRIC LOT #1: 5 Amy Butler prints and more. The fabric pieces vary in size (a
few smaller than fat quarters, a 1/2 yard, a yard and a few in between).

Due to the overwhelmingly kind (and numerous) comments here, I'm adding another bundle to give away!
* FABRIC LOT #2: Prints from Sandi Henderson, Riley Blake, Amy Butler, Victoria and Albert and more. There are some 1/3 and 1/2 yards as well as various other sizes.

TO ENTER:Simply leave a comment telling me whether you'd like to win the fabric (lot 1 or 2) OR the I-Spy Squares. Also, please tell me your favorite quilt
pattern/tutorial. Only ONE comment per person please. MAKE SURE TO LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS (either through blogger or in your comment). If I can't contact you I will have to chose another winner. And I'd love it if you'd follow my blog!

Open to everyone - I will ship internationally!
Giveaway will close at 5 pm PST on Friday, May 25th.
Winners will be chosen randomly and posted here on my blog and emailed no later than May 27th.
Items will be shipped by June 1.

Just started a charm quilt - and am working on a scrappy "square knot" quilt based on a block I designed - could definitely put these to work! Fave tutorial is as follows: http://thoughtandfound.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/oms2/ No waste geese - totally took the ick out of flying geese for me!

Har to choose! Lets go with the eye spys. My very fav quilt pattern is the "orange peel" and variations. including double wedding ring. I Really want to do a cathedral window quilt---that is what the 4' blocks would go toward. I found a cheater arange peel tutorail here that is fun. http://www.checkerdist.com/_media/instructions/orange_peel_9_patch.pdf

Oh perfect! I am making an I spy quilt with Care's disappearing nine patch pattern and I need enough to make two. We are taking a cross country trip and I want to gift one to each of my kids when we leave.

I guess I'd like to win the fabric - I have one of those Amy fabrics and so with a few more, I could create something splendid! Your I-Spy squares would be like opening a treasure chest to see what the surprise was inside!

The fabric stack looks fabulous -- love the piece with the toasters! Lately a pattern I've enjoyed using is Sanctuary Squares by Hyacinth Quilt Designs.http://hyacinthquiltdesigns.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html

I love that fabric! We need a sewing playdate :) As for quilt patterns, I am always intrigued by log cabin quilts, but I have only made a nine square myself. Are you a quilter because I SO need lessons!!

Fabrics are my choice - i really dont have a favourite pattern as i tend tocreate random modern geomatric designs. i would love to try a modern interpretation of a dresdeb plate quilt though.sewsuzie at live dot com dot au

I'd be happy with either! But I'm planning my first quilt now and it's an eye-spy with a rainbow theme, so perhaps the charms would be perfect. Thanks for the chance. Favorite quilts are typically those with clean, clearly defined blocks and lots of color.

i'd LOVE to have the fabric! i've not quite gotten to the point where i'm willing to tackle a quilt using small-ish pieces. anything less than 5 inches is too small for me! my favorite tutorial is from crafty staci, how to make reusable shopping bags. it is the diy craft that i have gotten the most use out of.

I just finished an I-spy quilt for my daughter, but I'd be happy to get either prize. I just love finding various quilting tutorials online. I've really improved my technique just by watching youtube tutorials.

I would like the fabric. I have never done a quilt from a pattern, but have eyeballed the Amy Butler free quilt pattern for a while. I mostly make smaller things and starting a big quilt seems overwhelming with a regular at home machine. joonatan15 at yahoodotcom

I'd definitely go for the fabric, cause..is that cosmo cricket toasters i see? Lurve. And that yellow dot...love that too. Favorite pattern...well, not long ago I saw that Cherry House Quilts was coming out with a suitcases pattern that looked really cool.

A bit about me...

I have dabbled in various handicrafts over the years, but always come back to sewing and knitting. My husband and I have 3 little boys. We spend our weekends exploring and hiking beautiful Colorado. During the week I homeschool our kiddos. But in the bits of time in between, you'll probably find me in my sewing nook.
